Everytime I heat chili up in the microwave it explodes and the beans go a flyin.

Fo Sho?
 
Its to thick for the heat bubbles to escape thus they build up and release all at once creating a miniature chili explosion. Dont be lazy, heat that shit up in a pot.

In a pot? I never would have fathomed.
 
It aint chili if it has beans in it dude. But yea just put a paper towel over it. Or they do sell little covers for that.

I don't know about rice, I'd go with chili cheese nachos.

This guys owes everyone a single internet.

I never have trouble microwaving chili, though.

But it's better if you heat it in a pot, which has been mentioned.
 
Water turns to steam inside the beans which then exploded like legume balloons. IIRC this is the same process that make popcorn go pop.
 
One time I put some left over chili on my scrambled eggs. Best decision ever

My cousin told me about a time he was trying to use up eggs that he had in the fridge, so he put eggs on EVERYTHING. Burgers, chili, spaghetti, enchiladas, everything. His findings: Everything tastes good with a fried egg on top/in it. lol
